The first chess board

This is where all the chess boards started.  It is a very simple design made out of black cherry and basic hammered steel legs.  The board was designed and then cut out on a CNC router. I have always enjoyed chess even though I'm not very good at it.  For some reason the environment that a chess board can be intrigues me . The game is such a defined concept and layout, yet the physicality of the board and pieces are entirely free.
